Watoto - The Children

Sponsored Children


The list of children who are waiting for a sponsorship is long. Generally, the children are already schooling with one of our schools, so their talent and worthiness for a sponsorship had already been verified. The economic situation of a sponsored family is regularly monitored to make sure sponsoring is still rectified.

The co-ordination of sponsorships is handled by the charitable society Watoto e.V. in Baunatal, Germany ("watoto" is the Kiswahili word for children). The society transfers sponsor funds to the school at the beginning of each term and establishes regular communication between the children and their sponsors. A sponsorship does not create a membership in the society.

Watoto members work without cost or expenditure refund. Expenses such as for material, administration, travel, petty expenses, postage and telephone etc. are all paid for privately by the members. Watoto e.V. has been registered under the number 2968 in the German society registry and is eligible for tax exempt as a charity organisation by German tax authorities. Watoto was also awarded with the DZI Donation Seal.

Antonina is only one of the many children on our waiting list desperately hoping for support. She is surrounded by some of the more than 600 children who have obtained a sponsorship since the beginning of our project in 1993. If you should consider sponsoring Antonina, or if you would like to be informed about a different child on the waiting list please do not hesitate to call us on (+49) 05601-89337 or send an email via this link.

 











Antonina Otieno, Pupil No. 02029   Antonina, Age 9
  Primary Class 1 of Likunda Primary School (LPS)
  Pupil No. 02029
   
  Antonina is a bright little girl. After her parents passed away she was adopted by her aunt Monica. Aunt Monica works as a cleaner in the kindergarten section of Likunda Primary School. Her salary of approx. 60 Euros is barely enough to make a living for her family, let alone paying the school fees for Antonina. Thus, the girl urgently requires a full day school sponsorship.
